ST. WILLIAMS, ON – A year-and-a-half after launching as a contract brewing operation, Hometown Brew Co. has secured a location for a bricks-and-mortar facility in Norfolk County.
Hometown has announced a partnership with Long Point Eco-Adventures, a wildlife preserve and eco-tourist destination near the town of St. Williams on the shore of Lake Erie, and will be opening a brewery and taproom on the site in the spring of 2019.
Founded by Dusty Zamecnik, Tommy DeVos, and Matt DeVos, Hometown currently brews its beers – including Blue County Blueberry Saison, Southern Ale, and Southern Light – at Ramblin’ Road Brewery in nearby La Salette.

- Greg C. is drinking an Ice Cider by Spirit Tree Estate Cidery at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Lacks the complexity of top notch ice ciders, but has a nice sweet-sour green apple thing going on.
- Greg C. is drinking an Emperor Norton by Almanac Beer Company at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Old bottle but still in pretty good nick - apricot meshes well with the strong Belgian-ish ale. I dig it.
- Greg C. is drinking a Mature Situations by Goose Island Brewhouse Toronto at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Everything noted in the description - honey, blackberry, lemon, Pinot Noir - is there in great balance. Nicely done.
- Greg C. is drinking a 21st Century Means by Stillwater Artisanal at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Not sure what they’re going for here. Malty amber ale crossed with dry & peppery farmhouse beer? It’s... weird.
- Greg C. is drinking a Ruby by Burdock at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Another great saison-wine hybrid from Burdock. Lots of berry & fruit-forward wine notes. Summery & refreshing.
